We explored a bit more into time conversions from a 12-hour clock and a 24-hour clock, and looked deeper into measuring angles. Students had an informal \u2018Show Me What You\u2019ve Learnt\u2019 assessment where they applied all their knowledge gained in all areas of measurement. Each and every child has shown growth and progress from the initial pre-assessment, so well done!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In UOI and literacy, students worked through the stages of the design cycle to apply their knowledge of forces and simple machines in their game designs. Students showed creativity through making their game and remembering which forces and simple machines would be beneficial in the game. We ended the week focusing on writing clear instructions to ensure our players understood the aim of the game and exactly how to play. We also focused on the \u2018evaluating\u2019 stage where students played their games with others to \u2018test it out\u2019 and see what went well, and what could be improved. Then, they took that feedback and went back to change and recreate, whether on their physical game or improving their instructions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Find all photos from the week <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/u\/0\/folders\/1UtT9atFD9iCUl65Vr01UFzi_A78_MxEv\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find photos from our Field Trip, Oman National Day, and Potato Olympics <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/u\/0\/folders\/1w_RjD90Llf-wqdWBuLHZy-R21jXTHSvM\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Looking forward to next week:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again, we hope that you can make it to our first Celebration of Learning this year on Sunday 1 December from 2:00-3:00pm in the Grade 5 area.

In this unit, students will explore how technological advancements throughout history have deepened our understanding of Earth and space, investigate the impact of our solar system on life on Earth, and consider the possibilities and implications of future space exploration. This sounds like an exciting unit and I am excited to dive in!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Maths, we will focus on understanding and applying number operations to solve problems and recognise patterns in mathematics. This unit will primarily emphasise multiplication and division, moving beyond the 12 times table to explore various strategies for solving multi-digit multiplication and division problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have a wonderful weekend!
